Why Titanium Machining so Popular
Titanium and its alloys are increasingly used in aerospace and biomedical applications that take advantage of their unique properties. However, working with titanium also presents unique challenges that precision engineers used to working with other metals would find difficult.
While aluminum and aluminum alloys were previously the materials of choice for the aerospace industry, new aircraft designs are increasingly using titanium and titanium alloys. Titaninum are also used in the medical industry. Reasons for their popularity include light weight, high strength, excellent fatigue properties and high resistance to corrosive environments without rusting and deterioration. Titanium components last longer, perform better and perform better than other metals and materials.
Titanium has a very high strength-to-weight ratio, about half the weight of copper and just over half that of stainless steel.
Titanium overheats because it unlike steel, titanium does not form chips that tend to dissipate heat from the surface when machined. Therefore, thermal cracking can occur when the tool is cycled between higher and lower temperatures.
On the one hand, it is almost as light as aluminum, on the other hand, it has higher strength than most steel alloys. Most importantly, it has excellent corrosion resistance. This combination makes it popular in aerospace parts and medical function parts Implanted in the body. Other important considerations include coolant pressure and volume, and coolant delivery method, and method and application.
This material is very durable and 100% recyclable, so it is very environmentally friendly. Machining super alloyed titanium requires special care and attention. Chips that don't break, heat that doesn't dissipate, and built-up edge are some of the common challenges in machining titanium alloys.
Titanium is considered the most biocompatible metal -- harmless or toxic to living tissue -- because it resists corrosion from bodily fluids. The ability to bind to bone gives it an advantage over materials that require adhesion to stay attached. Titanium implants last longer and require more force to break the bonds that connect them to the body. Titanium is not magnetic, so it will not interfere with MRI machines. Because of this property, patients with titanium implants can safely undergo MRI.
Once a prototype file has been developed, both CNC milling and turning are fast processes, So don't hesitate to contact Sanwo if you are looking for titanium machining.
